Sharp registered a first-period assist and four shots on net with a five-minute major for fighting and a plus-2 rating during Wednesday's loss to Montreal.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger has been limited to just 13 games this season, and his one goal and three points are hardly noticeable fantasy numbers. While Sharp has endured a difficult start and is in the midst of his age-35 campaign, his high shot volume (3.35 shots per game over the past four years) and significant offensive role with Dallas will help him maintain value in the majority of seasonal leagues. Plus, he's currently receiving top-line minutes with Jamie Benn (foot) out.

Sharp (concussion) will play Saturday night at home against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
This is obviously great news for Sharp and his fantasy owners alike, as the prolific scoring vet missed the past 12 games due to the ailment after sitting out 14 contests when the concussion issue originally surfaced in late October. The priority is that Sharp stays healthy, so we wouldn't be surprised if the Stars have a hawk's eye on his minutes each game. It's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Sharp in fantasy land -- pay attention to how he performs upon his return and if it looks like he can string together a nice run without any setbacks, then we'd recommend putting him back into lineups starting with those involved in deeper formats. Sharpie has 270 goals and 313 assists in 583 career games.

Sharp (concussion) is without a clear timetable to return to action, effectively ruling him out against the Coyotes on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's matchup will mark Sharp's 11th missed game since sustaining this concussion. Even when healthy, the winger's production has been minimal with a mere two points in 11 outings. It has been a tough season for the 35-year-old who will be a free agent in the offseason and may struggle to find a landing spot given his injuries woes.

Sharp (concussion) will not return Tuesday against the Blues, though he is making progress, the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sharp has missed the past eight games and remains on injured reserve. Even when healthy, the veteran winger has had a rough go of it this campaign based on his producing a minus-7 rating with only two points and a 4.0 shooting percentage through 11 contests. If your fantasy league doesn't have an IR spot, consider dropping him for a surging player on the waiver wire.

Sharp (concussion) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game in Philadelphia, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sharp misses his fourth game in a row and there's been no indication so far as to when he might be back. Concussions, as the the veteran winger is probably well aware of by now, are very tricky so he could be eyeing another lengthy absence, though hopefully it won't be as long as the 14-game one he took earlier this season.

Sharp is being troubled by concussion symptoms again, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
We now have a better idea of what is ailing the 34-year-old winger. Coach Lindy Ruff clarified in Heika's report that its unclear if the symptoms Sharp is dealing with now are related to the concussion that kept him out of 14 games earlier this season. Either way, he'll be out for at least a week.

Sharp (undisclosed) has been moved to injured reserve, retroactive to Dec. 1.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, one can only speculate what has sent Sharp to IR. The veteran winger missed 14 straight games with a concussion before returning to game action Nov. 19, but we won't assume that issue has resurfaced. Curtis McKenzie could be in line to start Saturday against the Avalanche with Sharp unavailable, though he hasn't done much offensively in limited action (three points in 16 games).

Sharp scored a shorthanded goal and took five shots during Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
It's great to see Sharp get back on the scoreboard after suffering a concussion in October that's limited him to just seven games this year. The 34-year-old now has two points and has some work to do after dropping 55 in his first campaign with the Stars last season. As long as he's healthy, the veteran should do damage with the top six.

Sharp (concussion) will be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Oilers after missing the last 14 games, the Dallas News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Stars are finally starting to get healthy and getting Sharp back for Saturday's big game must be a huge step for them. He has only one assist in the four games he's played this year, but the scoring is bound to pick up now that he's theoretically fully healthy and back with a potent Dallas offense that is scoring 2.67 goals per game.

Sharp may return to the Stars' lineup Saturday, reports Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News.
EDGE Analysis
Nothing is confirmed, but the Stars reassigned forward Gemel Smith to AHL Texas on Friday. Sending Smith down is a good sign that Sharp is ready to go, especially since he returned to practice Tuesday. This will be a big add for rosters, but wait to see the official confirmation come through later on Friday or early Saturday.
